Hands of Healing, Inc. is dedicated to offering medical, dental, and vision services to the impoverished and underserved populations of Guatemala. The organization was inspired by families who adopted children from Guatemala, along with an exchange student who is now a board certified ENT surgeon. This led to the establishment of their own 501(c)3 status and a focus on missions to Guatemala, working with in-country partners to address the health and well-being of the Mayan population.
Their short-term health clinics have provided essential medical care, including diagnostic tests and treatments that would otherwise be unavailable. Volunteers offer healthcare services to individuals of all ages, including those who have never had access to medical or dental care before. Hands of Healing also provides support and education to the Bombaros (firefighters/EMTs) of Guatemala, assisting in their training and supply needs to enhance their firefighting capabilities.
Hands of Healing not only impacts the lives of the patients they serve but also brings profound changes to their volunteers. Each trip offers unique experiences that foster connections between different cultures, creating heartfelt moments of mutual learning and understanding. By engaging with individuals in Guatemala, the volunteers are transformed from within, recognizing the privilege and honor in serving others.
